Ready to pull the trigger on a 2022 T6.1 with Locking Rear Diff (1Y4). There are a few to choose from, but the ones I like come with 18" rims.
One of my goals it to not raise the overall height of the van, so I can still squeeze in below 2.0m barriers/obstacles. BFG and the others don't seem to make an All Terrain 255/45 R18 tire, or anything similar. General Grabbers 255/55 R18 are taller and (from quick research) seem to rub.
Seems odd to deliver new vans outfitted with Locking Rear Differential and not put a rim on it that's conducive to stock AT Tires.... UGH!!
Do I have to invest in 16" or 17" rims, or is there a 18" version I'm missing?
